Oh, BLESS you! I need Explorer on this remote system I use from RDP, and I
use mousekeys a lot of the time, and it not being my system I'm not really
"tuned" to where the desktop icons are, so I'm always looking through them
to find the darned thing. This should make things painless!

I personally use the keyboard almost exclusively to navigate the start
menu. I use letters there. I use letters less often in Explorer,
preferring the arrow keys.

*cough* Winamp. :) How many times have we found desired operations that
are either extremely context sensitive, or just don't have shortcuts?
BTW, re: windows-D vs windows-M...I just reversed a windows-M -with- a
windows-D. Go figure. Win2K Pro SP4.
